Potty training can be frustrating for child and parent, but potty training chairs could help speed up the training process. You will need to choose a potty training chair that best suits you and your toddler. Remember that one size does not fit all.

You can use a stand alone potty or a toddler sized toilet seat that inserts into the toilet. This allows the toddler to sit comfortable on an adult sized toilet. Your child might need a stool or step to reach the potty. This option does however allow you to flush away the waste after use as opposed to having to clean the stand alone potty after use. For this reason, it may be more convenient for you, but remember that some toddlers may be intimidated by an adult sized toilet. If you go for the stand alone option, have a look what way you can clean the potty. You won’t want one that will be hard work to clean, as you will be cleaning it many times a day!

There are potty chairs available that have lights and make sounds when your toddler makes a deposit. This might help to motivate your child. Other potty chairs that are available are ones with different characters and bright colours. You can always stick to the plain white potty chairs and even let your toddler decorate it with stickers. If you would like to reward your child after a deposit has been made, then you can do so with a treat of your choice.

It shouldn’t be difficult to find a potty training chair that fits your child. In the case that your child is on the very small side or on the larger side, you should make sure that the potty is not too big that your child will fall into the potty or that the potty is not too small that your child won’t be comfortable on it. Comfort is very important because there is a lot of sitting involved in this process.

Children differ, so choose what is best for your own child. Let your child go at there own pace. Praise your child when he has been successful!
